The definition of “free” means that you give somebody something of value, at least to you, without the expectation of getting something in return. Is it really free? Does that true on the web? Well, not really, because they always want something in return, as a rule, your contact information or at minimum your email account. You need to decide for yourself. But it would be better for you if you have a throwaway email. It seems that our definition needs to be changed.
Though, the online shopping is different than shopping in your local stores. Your local stores do not need to have your contact information and physically you take your trade without waiting. In contrast, the online shop can be located far away from your house that is why you will wait for free things a few days or months.
So, it becomes a question of convenience to both you and the tradesmen, for them to be able to collect your contact information so that they call it “Where could we send your free stuff?” approach. You need to finish the free item of registration process which means that you will invest your time and contact information in order to get the free products.
From our point of view the tradesmen exchange their free products and usually cover the shipping and handling, for the opportunity to develop a relationship with you in the future. They pay by their free products in order to “buy” new client.
Most of people want some free things, but it is enough strange when it is free they do not attach much attention and value to it. Why? For example, imagine a man is walking the sidewalks of city and giving away roses to women. So, he was trying to give away roses, but just few women took his roses. However, when a man started proposing them for 1 dollar to the same women, then all his roses were gone in a short time. It probably sounds funny, but it is a true!
The tradesmen catch new consumers with a propose of a free stuff which the clients believe has some value and therefore they can exchange their time and contact information in order to get the free stuff. The customer receives the free product and the tradesman gets contact information of that customer. “Free” is used as a motivator.
There are many freebies on the Internet. But you need to decide for yourself if that “free propose” is something good. If you want to protect yourself from spam emails, then create a throway email for the free offers. You can set up it at free email providers. Avoid spam in your private or work email box!

And a final piece of advice – today the web technologies give you a really unique chance to choose exactly what you want for the best price on the market. Strange, but most of the people don’t use this chance. In real life it means that you must use all the tools of today to get the info that you need.
